Chapter 2206 The Last Bet
"Is Lord Dongfang feeling better?"

"Don't mention it. I feel like my health is not getting better. I have been looking for experts over the years, hoping to adjust my body, but no expert can cure my illness!"

"Is it impossible for Taoist Master Zhenyuan to cure your illness?"

"Master Zhenyuan is not good at medicine!"

Outside the main hall of Anle Palace, as Zhang Xuezhou flattered her, the conversation between Empress Dou and Zhang Xuezhou became more casual.

If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dou was concerned about the situation in the hall and the topic was not directed to Zhenyuan Shenjun from time to time, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Empress Dou might have rewarded him with some nourishing tonics.

He mentioned that Zhenyuan Shenjun was not good at medicine, which made Empress Dou sigh slightly in her heart.

There was no forensic doctor for Zhang Xuezhou’s illness, so it was obviously impossible for Zhenyuan Shenjun to treat the Empress Dowager.

"The most famous medical officer in the Han Dynasty was Chunyu Yi. He inherited the medical traditions of Emperor Huangdi, Bian Que's pulse book, and others." Empress Dou said, "It's a pity that he didn't survive. If he were here, Lord Dongfang's hardship would definitely be solved!"

"I've heard of this guy," Zhang Xuezhou nodded, "and he has a useless descendant who opened my head!"

"Ahem, Tiying was also desperate to save you at that time," Empress Dou said awkwardly, "You were guarding Yangling and were eroded by Zhu Jiuyin's evil curse. The many good doctors in the Imperial Medical Center were helpless, so she could only use this method!"

"I didn't even know there was such a thing as curse erosion!"

"The cultivation level of this demon Zhu Jiuyin is unpredictable, and his magic is strange and hard to understand. Ti Ying can help you get rid of this demon's evil curse, and she is already considered a famous doctor in the world!"

"So I should thank her?"

"Lord Dongfang is good at socializing. If you have a chance to find Tiying, you can ask her for help again. Perhaps after a few years, her skills have improved a little and she can cure your illness!"

Empress Dou looked at Zhang Xuezhou.

The court had used all official systems but failed to find Chunyu Tiying, so Empress Dowager Dou was just talking nonsense.

She didn't expect Zhang Xuezhou to find Chunyu Tiying immediately, but Empress Dou didn't mind having one more person looking for Chunyu Tiying.

The investigation of the gourd case in Anle Palace involved many things. She even detained the female doctor beside the Empress Dowager, and made Yi Shuo covered with bruises, which also made their relationship stiff.

If Chunyu Tiying could be found to fill the vacancy, it would undoubtedly help ease the relationship between Empress Dowager Dou and the Empress Dowager.

"I'm scared when I see that woman. I wish we would never see each other again in our lives," Zhang Xuezhou said angrily.

"Don't be afraid of doctors when you are sick!"

Empress Dou forced a smile.

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou didn't like talking about Chunyu Tiying, she couldn't help but nag a little and started chatting about Zhang Xuezhou's marriage and children.

In the main hall of Anle Palace, the Empress Dowager asked questions repeatedly, and then was filled with disappointment.

"I am not good at medicine, and I cannot heal the injuries you have caused!"

Zhenyuan Divine Lord and the Empress Dowager stared at each other, and he seemed to be about to say something but stopped himself.

"You can say whatever you want, my friend. I can bear it no matter whether it's good or bad," said the Empress Dowager.

"I have a tree over there," Zhenyuan Shenjun said, "This tree likes to eat the essence of corpses. This tree cannot remove the evil spirit from your body at this moment, but after you die..."

Zhenyuan Shenjun did not add any subsequent words.

He couldn't cure the living Grand Empress Dowager, but he had a way to cure the illness she had in her body after her death, so that her body could be buried normally. "I can't cure death, it seems my time has come!"

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale.

The Han Dynasty had its share of disasters, hardships and shackles, but as long as the Empress Dowager could hold on, she would be the stabilizer of the Han Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager's first priority was to save herself.

But the Empress Dowager did not expect that the person she was welcoming was a corpse collector.

There is destiny in the world, and the Empress Dowager felt that her end was near. In the moment when her mind was shaken, her hair turned gray and more hair began to fall down.

Age spots continued to appear on her body, and the unquenchable fire of life in the Empress Dowager's eyes swayed back and forth.

"I am worried about the Han Dynasty. I don't want to see this dynasty fall, I don't want our royal family to perish, I don't want the world to be in chaos and wars, and I don't want millions of people to be displaced." The Empress Dowager tried hard to speak: "If the Taoist priest can swear to protect the dynasty for me and become the imperial master of the Han Dynasty, everything in Anle Palace belongs to the Taoist priest!"

"Feel sorry!"

The Empress Dowager was very sincere in asking for help during her illness, and she almost offered a large national force to her.

As long as Lord Zhenyuan makes a vow, there will be many transfers of power tonight, allowing Lord Zhenyuan to ascend to the pinnacle of power in one step.

Owning vast territories would bring countless benefits. For example, the formation items needed by Zhenyuan Shenjun could be assembled in the shortest time after the order was conveyed, and heavy magic weapons with the heritage of a country could be obtained.

The Han monks were able to gather around to protect, thus building up a large force, instantly surpassing the holy land forces where Daojun and others were.

But as soon as he thought of the short life span of Zhang Xuezhou and himself, and the hostility that the Kunlun Heavenly Court would inevitably encounter if it intervened in the Southern Continent, the God Zhenyuan no longer had any distracting thoughts.

External things can be obtained in the future, but inner longevity will never be possessed again once you miss it.

"My current situation is a bit complicated, I would like to ask you to lend me a set of formations that can protect me." Zhenyuan Divine Lord said: "If you have fine magic cloth, this is also what Zhenyuan needs. In return, Zhenyuan can help you after solving his own problems!"

The Empress Dowager spoke very directly. The first time she spoke, she asked Zhenyuan Shenjun to cure her illness. The second time she spoke, she explained her funeral arrangements and sought Zhenyuan Shenjun's protection.

This was something that Zhenyuan Shenjun could not agree to, so he directly put forward his request at this time.

If the Empress Dowager can satisfy Zhenyuan Shenjun, they can continue their talks. If the other party cannot meet her requirements, their meeting and conversation tonight will be off.

Behind the screen, the Empress Dowager's face looked gloomy, and it was obvious that she also knew the result of their meeting and communication.

Both of them had an extremely direct communication style, but Zhenyuan Shenjun's request made the Empress Dowager a little more hesitant and indecisive.

The request of Zhenyuan Shenjun seems simple, but the formation required to protect a great cultivator like Zhenyuan Shenjun who is at the true self realm is extremely demanding. The magic weapons he needs are not something that can be met by ordinary requirements, and his promise is also full of uncertainty.

Accepting the request of Zhenyuan Shenjun is undoubtedly a gamble, and it is hard to say whether it will be profitable or loss-making.

What the Empress Dowager was certain of at the moment was that everything she provided to Zhenyuan Shenjun was real contribution, but what Zhenyuan Shenjun gave back was hard to describe.

"My Han Dynasty royal family has endured the storms from all directions. Over the past hundred years, we have resisted the attacks of dozens of True Self-level cultivators. The formation they used is called the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation..."

The Empress Dowager looked towards the God Zhenyuan who was standing in the air, and saw the indifferent look in his eyes.

The thought of seeing her off and interacting kept lingering in her mind.

She finally took a deep breath, and in just a few seconds she made the last big bet of her life.
